back then, back when,we measured menby the cut of their jib,back when a man wasonly as much as hecould give,back when livingmeant the will to live,that's when we knewthat the strength of a man,was not just in his arms,not the sum total of hismanly charms,but in the strength of hisresolve, and all the manypuzzles that he could sitand examine, andsolve, and so that is whywe often want to go backto the good ol' days,when there was little in thehaze, and when we wereabsolutely convinced thatwhat lay ahead wasbetter days.
